These statements about corruption in science are egregious lies. Kennedy is a tsunami of anti-science propaganda.
This isn’t just a moral injury to scientists, it is downright dangerous.

Being anti vote-by-mail is being anti-military. Imagine being asked to protect U.S. interests abroad and being denied the right to vote.
Being against mail-in ballots is being against our Troops’ right to vote. For generations, we have cast ballots by mail, dating back to the Civil War.
Denying that right is a betrayal of service, and yet another way Trump disrespects those who serve.
